The shot was about 80 yards, down a fairly steep embankment. Impact was at the right shoulder crease about 1/2 way up the body. The shot was a complete pass through and broke the offside shoulder. He mule kicked at impact and ran, dragging his right leg. He crashed within 50 yards. The round was a 129 ABLR with a muzzle velocity of about 2240, launched from a 12" Faxon barrel. Great day.

Longest shot so far has been about 140 yards. It’s my go to gun inside 350 yards and I’d be confident in it out to 500. I’ve shot steel out to 950 (longest spot with quick access).
